Aw, msbelle, that sucks.
P-C, my personal discomfort with it is just that all the commenters on the io9 article so far are extremely TV Tropes-fannish and loving (which is totally their right, and I don't begrudge them a bit of that; it's not my beautiful cake, but yay them), and so I'm a little wary of possible kerfuffles if their fannishness collides with our bitterness/burnt-outness.
I have no issue with the fabulousness of the Tropes website or even its fans. I just feel itchy because their founders are claiming kinship, nay credit, for buffistas. And that connection is only through a supposed dead guy whom nobody here knows.
And that's BEFORE you get into the fact of two people in a tiny location in Central Wisconsin, Guy Straley and Gus Raley, BOTH posting as Gus on the internet and both being closely connected to TV Tropes.
My hackles are raised and I'm having trouble settling them.
Maybe Raley is Fast Eddie and Straley is Gus. It's all totally plausible. Also, they live(d) together, and monkeys transmit MS.
I got a phone call in the middle of typing that, so I didn't really mean to imply that it wouldn't always be weird for you.
Oh, no worries, Jesse. That's now how I took it. The topic is actually one I've been thinking about since last year, because I AM trying to set myself (well, Gothic Charm School, and by extension, me) up as a Recognizable Brand. Which means there are some kind of 4th wall issues that I need to get over. Or else I need to stop reading the interwebs, and that's just crazy talk.

It must be creepy! You should just keep to selected tubes online, and you should be OK?

Or just start referring to yourself in the third person at all times.

That's kinda what I do, yeah. (Tho' I do want Fay to write more of the GCS fanfic she was working on, because it was awfully cute.)

Oh, msbelle. Mac, your mother will love you regardless. Please learn to believe this and move on to a calmer existence.
Is it bad that I always assumed the monkey bite thing was a big joke? I figured he was actually sick with something that he didn't want to tell us about, so he made up the monkey bite story.
I am with sj on this concept. He referred to having trouble getting around very obliquely and fleetingly. Considering the drama with which he otherwise talked about his life, I started to believe that the mobility issues were real, even as I began to question some of the larger-than-lifeness.
yes, this.
Dang, why didn't I write myself an Origin, besides "That first step is a lulu," or Out. But. don't walk. Bitch.
missed opportunity, that one.
So, as I mentioned over in Bitches, it seems I'm starting a new job in a week or two. The only downside is that the job is 76 miles (one way) away from my house. We are thinking hard about buying a Prius. We have a friend who just got one and he loves it. There are, I think, several Prius owners on the board right? What are ya'll's experiences with them? Am I insane for thinking about buying a Toyota now?
